Hi everyone.
I'm not very knowledgable regarding tweaking computers, so I'm facing a problem.
I recently was given an old system with a Gigabyte ga-945gcm-s2l. mobo. According to the manual it supports up to 2 x 2gb 533/667 ddr2 .
I placed 2x2gb 533 ddr2 working modules but it just recognizes 3.2gb on the bios screen (I ve updated to the latest bios version) and it just shows 2.9gb usable memory (I'm using the 256mb onboard video adapter) on the system screen (windows 7 ultimate 32bit).
Is there a work around for this system to make it recognize most of the physical memory? Something like PAE or overclocking, or memory mapping?
I mean ...it's like I'm losing 700mb of memory, and it's a shame for such a small computer. The system is really minimal. Everything is onboard. Only a sata hdd and a dvd writer.
Thanks in advance
